US-India Cross-Border Tax, Under One Roof.
FBAR, Form 5471, tax-treaty planning, and NRI compliance, handled by a firm that holds both a U.S. CPA and an Indian Chartered Accountant credential. One team on both sides of the border.
Cross-border tax, end to end.
Money, people, and companies move between the United States and India, and the compliance follows them. We handle both sides of the return, so nothing falls through the gap between two tax systems.
FBAR & foreign account reporting
FinCEN Form 114 (FBAR) and FATCA Form 8938 for U.S. persons with bank accounts, fixed deposits, and investments in India. We catch what is reportable and file it on time.
Form 5471 & foreign corporations
Ownership in an Indian Pvt Ltd or other foreign company triggers Form 5471, GILTI, and Subpart F exposure. We determine your filing category and keep the penalties off the table.
US-India tax-treaty planning
We apply the U.S.-India treaty and foreign tax credits so the same income is not taxed twice, covering residency, dividends, interest, capital gains, and retirement income.
NRI returns & entity structuring
Returns for NRIs and dual residents, plus entity selection and transfer-pricing support for founders running operations across both countries.
Who this practice is built for.
- NRIs and U.S. residents with bank accounts, property, or investments in India
- U.S. founders who own or operate a company in India
- Indian companies setting up a U.S. entity or expanding into the U.S. market
- Dual residents who need the treaty applied correctly to avoid double taxation
